Establish Strong Public Governance Capacity Through Energy system revolution ENERGY SYSTEM REVOLUTION Revise the “Coal Law” and “Electricity Law.” Establish “Energy Law,” “Climate Change Law” and other relevant laws. Decentralize government authorized power. Establish a Ministry of Energy and Climate Change, and a National Energy Regulatory Commission Establish a co-coordinated energy/coal cap governing body to guide energy/coal cap work
